However, your analogy is flawed.

Charlie Hebdo, from examples I've seen online in the last day, skewered everyone, so the equivalent to the hypothetical cover with Vimes and Vetinari exists.

And the Charlie Hebdo folks were not massacred by the emissaries of some political figure that they skewered, nor by someone with a fanatical devotion to the Pope.

The people who did this are not trying to start a war.

They are trying to win a war.

It would appear that the situation, from their point of view, would be "So far, so good."
